what exactl DISTRIBUTED ENVIRONMENT mean?

[former_member181959]

Hi,

Its a concept behind "Loose Coupling". It means making different systems to communicate each other independently. For example a network of different systems is a best example of "DISTRIBUTED ENVIRONMENT"

For this we need have different protocols (TCP/IP,HTTP,SMTP,FTP) and so on.

Hope this helps.

This link provides a good overview of a specific distributed environment.

I guess bascially it is mutiple components making a single application.
